Sir, I've got a laptop. I've got a 2011 Lenovo Thinkpad T520
How do I fix a stretched screen?
Hello, Whenever I start my laptop, the windows boot screen and progressive ring are stretched. I've tried updating and rolling back drivers, I've used CMD, and more. I installed Windows 11 about a month ago on unsupported hardware.
NOTE TO ALL OF YOU. UPDATING DOES NOT FIX IT
Someone told me to go back to Windows 10, I did. Not resolved.

What method did you use to go back to Windows 10, your screenshot indicates you have a 9 year old version of Windows 10 installed on your PC, the only way to update that version would be to create a bootable Windows 10 USB and use that to install the latest version (22H2) of Windows 10.

Did you mean: What's the default resolution for windows 10 screen
1920×1080
The default resolution on your primary display (laptop, in this case) will be applied
to all displays. It's typically 1920×1080. If you want a different resolution
for one of the additional displays, click on its rectangle.
